Now, the city has begun construction of the “potty pods” right outside the door of the Oceana condominiums.

“This is it. This is so-called ‘oceanfront,'” Geyber said, “They will be looking at people who come to urinate and defecate in front on their house.”

Residents said the units, which cost about $2 million per pod, will not only be an eyesore, they will also mean no more wheelchair access for disabled residents such as Eileen Trotta and her brother.

“Now I have to walk all the way around, which is almost impossible,” Trotta said. “Somebody has to drive me there.”

Right now construction in front of Oceana is at a standstill because of a lawsuit the owners have filed against the city. But if the pods are put in place, they are expected to be about three stories tall — about the height of nearby lampposts.

“Would you want that?” Trotta said. “It’s just not right.”

The city Parks Department defended the design.

“They are being built to withstand future extreme weather events,” a department statement said. “As required by NYC Building Code, the new buildings will be raised above (Federal Emergency Management Agency) advisory base flood elevations.”

The Oceana residents asked why port-a-potties could not be set up instead.
